Well, like to to you all before I no drinkin' man I it once and it got me highly irregular And I swore I'd do it again I my brother in-law that I'd go up watch his still While he went in to to vote It was right up on the Where the map it would be Friends let me tell you one it wasn't no ordinary still It stood up on that Like a golden opal
God's yeller shinin' on the cool clear evenin' God's little twinklin' on and off in the heavens Like I to you once before I ain't no drinkin' man But got the best of me And I a slash That yella whiskey down my throat honey dew vine water
And I another slash Took an another'n an another'n For you knew I'd downed one whole jug of that And to gettin' hot flashes Goose pimples was runnin' up and down my And a feelin' came me somethin' I'd never experienced before It was like, I was in love In love for the time, with anything that moved Animate, inanimate it didn't It's like there's a neon sign flashin' on an' off In my brain sayin' "Jimmy Buffett there's a day a comin'" I was drunk I wasn't knee crawlin', slidin', Reggie Youngin' Commode drunk

Sippin' in the moonlight I gave him another'n an an another'n For I knew it he downed of them And commenced to the bear dance Two snips, a snort, a fly turn, and a It was so simple the jitter bug It evaded me
We worked ourselves into a tumultuous And I was awful tired and over to the hillside And I laid and went to sleep for four hours and dreampt me some tremulous dreams When I woke up, there was God's moon on the clear cool evenin'
God's little lanterns on and off In the My the bear was a missin' Want to know something friends and neighbors So was still
